Ticker: Walmart flags higher fuel costs; Two charged for AI deepfake porn

Federal prosecutors have charged two men, Cornelius Shannon and Arturo Hernandez, with using artificial intelligence to create nude videos and photos of female celebrities. The defendants were arrested for generating sexually explicit AI content that drew millions of views online. They are among the earliest defendants to face charges under the Take It Down Act, a law signed by President Donald Trump that adds stricter penalties for publishing AI-created deepfakes and revenge porn. Under the new law, the men now face up to two years in prison.
